Cheticamp - Aeroplane vs Automobile (1997, Poster Girl)

Had a request for this one awhile back, that I'm just getting to today. It follows up last night's Can-indie delight nicely, as it's also a '97 release. Cheticamp called Halifax, Nova Scotia headquarters, and though they weren't slavish imitators of any of their more renown hometown boys/girls done good, this combo was endeared to a similar indie aesthetic. Aeroplane... was tracked at different recording facilities over the course of two years, and for better or worse it sounds like it. Not too much in the way of genre-hopping, save for the twangy, bar-stool inflected "Leaving." There's a bit of a slacker vibe to Cheticamp as well, if that does anything for you.
